The KT7 only supports 2x100FSB......... Clive clive@digitalsky.co.za

You might want to try the AMD 761 chipset. Epox make one, I think it is the 8K7A+. Clive clive@digitalsky.co.za

Let me be more precise. Power goes out on a dialup server server in the middle of the night, UPS holds for 40 minutes. After 40 the box dies. 2 hours later power is restored but it is still middle of the night, and all we need is for the box to boot by itself. So I guess I mean totally...

Any ideas on how to restart an ATX box, unattended, after a power failure? Clive clive@digitalsky.co.za

Looks like your CPU is bad... Put ram back and try it without VGA. If you get "no VGA" beeps then I would say it's CPU. Clive clive@digitalsky.co.za

Note that it is actually your computer that is freezing, not your keyboard and mouse; the computer is not responding to inputs from those devices. You need to determine whether this is a hardware or software a software issue. One way is to boot in safe mode and check whether or not it still...

Problem identification is going to be difficult without a debug card. But try the following: 1. Remove all PCI cards as well as AGP 2. Discount all drives; power and data 3. Remove memory 4. Switch on and listen for POST beeps from the system speaker. Long beeps means the board has detected no...

If your problem is simply implementing the barcode functionality into existing procedures, then you need merely to add the field to the dictionary / data file and update all modules and procedures as normal. Whether the barcode input is by means of keyboard or scanner is irrelevent; it is...

I agree with you regarding the Xeon / coppermine issue. After all, the both use PII core and 0.18 micronology. The only difference I can come up with (and i may be wrong), is that you can use quad setup with Xeon, but only dual setup with Coppermine. In dual configuration, I've yet to see a...

I think this thread has establsihed two things: 1. Techbrain is fully of the smelly stuff. 2. He himself has no clue as to what caused the problem. What bothers me also is first the system reports no HD present (this could even be a flat or dislodged CMOS battery), later we hear of bad sectors...

If none of the above work, try to get your hands on a debug card that fits into the PCI slot (they are relatively inexpensive). The card will display the P.O.S.T. codes as they are checked. The last code displayed will give you some indication of where the problem is, by referring to the BIOS...

The print jobs piling up is a usual but abnormal occurence in Windows, not just 98SE. I'm not convinced that IP connection was lost. What printer is used, is it attached to a print server or station or is it stand alone? What are your spool settings and are you using EMF or RAW? Clive...

My guess is the update got corrupted during download. I would try again. Clive clive@digitalsky.co.za

Hey Jim, I Like!!!! Why dont I know this?? Clive clive@digitalsky.co.za

What MB are you using? I know the timing bug, but you say similar - what exactlt is the problem? I have built tens of Duron systems without hassle; maybe I can help but I need more info.. Clive clive@digitalsky.co.za

Or you can kill it in the registry. Clive clive@digitalsky.co.za

Reminds me of another old tip. You can use the screensaver system to auto-schedule many other programs; simply rename them to whatever.scr and pick that as your screensaver, set your time delay and voila. Clive clive@digitalsky.co.za

I also sell, repair and service PCs for a living (not a very good one!). I think it's fair to say that all vendors sort of stand between the purchaser and the manufacturer. The manufacturer is the guy who warrants that whatever it is that he manufactures is free from latent and other defects...

Normally, when you play music from the CD-ROM your CPU and to some extent the motherboard, are bypassed. Hence the analogue sound cable from the Cd-ROM to the soundcard. Some motherboards allow you to dispense with this cable and will play digital sound. To check, goto control...
